Checking Everyone's AIM status
If you want to check everyone's AIM status you can now simply click on the question mark in your control panel and see them all. It makes it much easier than having to go from journal to journal to find someone who is online to talk to.

NEw Estrip Desktop Application
In the meantime, I would like people to get a taste of what is coming. This swf file is fully functional, just login and publish. It currently does no error checking, so if you name and password are wrong it does not report an error, you just get no entry.. It was a 30 minute inspirational piece and I didn't have time to implement any other features yet.

::Download Flash SWF::



THE BEST PART - Stand alone application
The best part is that I have also made it available as a stand-alone application for both windows and macintosh

Please try it out. It will let people like (e:MK) and (e:anne) publish without needing the browser for now.

I think this red tomato/tree thing is going to be the new theme for a while. I might redesign the site when I get chance.
Off to do some summer stuff. . .

Sign Up Woes
(e:mike) just alerted me that the sign up was not working. I appologize to anyone this inconvenienced.

I was wondering how we had so many signups and then it simply stopped around the 15th of July. Well, it turns out I made a change to see database variables on the night of the 15th and it has been down since them.

Each time the user would attempt to join, it would alert them the username they selected had already been taken. I fixed it now and went through with a trial signup just to make sure that it is possible to sign up once again.

Hopefully, we will see new people soon.
